Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The structure may even become unusable because of the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
