Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
