Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
