Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants can identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
