Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for kids & pets

• Tiny holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood is decaying or damaged
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?
