Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they have been 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.

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
