Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even if you do not 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 placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
