Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
