Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
