Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
