Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and again access the property.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
