Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the property.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
