Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
