Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated because of access problems, then white ants will detect those breaks and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
