Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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, termites can discover these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
