Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits
