Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
