Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 as opposed to 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.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
