Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you do not 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
