Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
