Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
