Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them once again.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating 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 the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
