Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within 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 wood that they were infesting 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 other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Not affected by weather
