Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling makes it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
