Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
