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 compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
