Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and once again access the house.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
