Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated due to access issues, then termites may identify those breaks and attain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
