Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
