Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes 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 covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
