Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home can make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
