Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases 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 to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure will make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
