Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
