Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
