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 may identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on effect.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
