Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though you do not 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
