Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
