Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
