Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to get rid of termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
