Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are unable 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 less ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they are usually situated 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 structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
