Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole 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 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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
