Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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 fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
