Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
