Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The often commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
