Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
