Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated because of access issues, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
