Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the house.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

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