Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect those gaps and attain ingress via them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even though 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 often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
