Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
