Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the breaks and access the home.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, 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 activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house can make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
