Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

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