Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
