Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

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