Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
