Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

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 will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
