Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t 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.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

If left untreated, even just one nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction.
