Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
