Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures 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 feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Environmentally smart
