Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and access the home.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around 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 termites before they breach the perimeter.
