Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites may identify those gaps and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
