Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
