Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. As a result of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
