Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
