Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around 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 structure can make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
