Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access problems, then white ants will identify those gaps and gain access via those areas.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
