Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
