Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
