Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal 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 may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home can make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
