Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The often frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
