Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the house.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
