Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony 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 activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
