Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
