Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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