Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated because of access difficulties, then termites may detect the gaps and attain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
