Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home makes it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
