Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding result.

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

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
