Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, 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 widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
