Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
