Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
