Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
