Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the house.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
