Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
