Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position 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 termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
