Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the gaps and access the home.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
