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, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a house will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
