Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may 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 rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
