Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Ecologically Smart
