Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and again access the home.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite 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 as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

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