Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
