Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
