Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may detect the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
