Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
