Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, 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 installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
