Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
