Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills those 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 pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
