Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
