Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and access the house.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
