Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and once again access the building.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling can make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
