Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The often commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
