Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

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

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
