Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated due to access problems, then termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These 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 will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
