Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These 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 may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
