Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants can detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
