Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
