Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

The often commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
