Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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