Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
