Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, 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 usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
