Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
