Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
