Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
