Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
