Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed 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 throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
