Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
