Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
