Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these breaks and access the building.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
