Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in 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 that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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