Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations can not be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants can detect those gaps and attain access via them.

The regularly commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
