Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
