Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
