Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
