Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
