Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout 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 white ants before they breach the perimeter.
