Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System
