Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated because of access issues, then white ants can detect the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
