Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

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

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