Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and access the house.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood 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 that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house will make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
