Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated due to access issues, the white ants will detect those breaks and attain access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate 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 timber that they were 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.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
