Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
