Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. 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 nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position 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 to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
