Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
