Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the building.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
