Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated because of access problems, the termites will identify those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until recently. 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 other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even when you don’t 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 can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
