Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
