Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas can not be treated as a result of access issues, then termites can identify the breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding result.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
