Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
