Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these breaks and again access the building.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
