Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, but they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
