Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access problems, then white ants can identify the gaps and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 utilised in a similar manner, but they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
