Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants may identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The regularly frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
