Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and access the building.

The often frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
