Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not 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 are used in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
