Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated due to access issues, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
