Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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