Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
