Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even when 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 generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
