Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
