Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
