Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

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.
