Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect 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 may recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
