Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants may detect those breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for the kids and pets
