Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
