Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
