Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
