Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and again access the property.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically smart
