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 areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, 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 until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
