Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house will make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
