Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
