Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may detect the gaps and attain ingress through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
