Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and once again access the property.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

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

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
