Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites can detect the gaps and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
