Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and access the property.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
