Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
