Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
