Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The often frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can not identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this way, 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 activity.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
