Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
