Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even when 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 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
