Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access via them once again.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling will make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
