Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites from your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t 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 Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
