Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
