Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s 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 identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
