Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
