Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and again access the property.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
