Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites will detect the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
