Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home can make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
