Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites may detect those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
