Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
