Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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