Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas can’t be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will detect the gaps and attain ingress through them.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

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

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing 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.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
