Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location 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 so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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