Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then white ants may detect the gaps and gain ingress through them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
