Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
