Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
