Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if 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 employed in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
