Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the house.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
