Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places can not be treated due to access difficulties, the termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
