Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
