Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
