Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the home.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
