Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
