Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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 detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
