Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home 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 timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
