Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling makes it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Impervious to weather conditions
