Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Eco friendly
