Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
