Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding effect.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
