Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
