Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and once again access the home.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the dwelling 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 timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home will make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
