Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids or pets
