Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
