Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently 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 usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
