Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you do not 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.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
