Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
