Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
