Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
