Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify the breaks and attain ingress through them.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
