Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony 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 termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they’re frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
