Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The often commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
