Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants will identify the breaks and gain access through those areas.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding result.

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

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
