Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate 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 and not the structures that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you do not 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 Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not influenced by weather conditions
• Safe to use around children and pets
