Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

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

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
