Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
