Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
