Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and again access the building.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

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 catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
