Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood 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 then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if 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 Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
