Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent 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 locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these breaks and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations 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 to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home will make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
