Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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