Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Because the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
