Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
