Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential 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.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
