Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access issues, the white ants can identify the breaks and attain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
