Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent 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 due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
