Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

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 are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting 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.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
