Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non repellent chemical 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 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.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
