Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access problems, the termites will detect those gaps and attain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
