Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and once again access the house.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

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

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential 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 particularly useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
