Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
