Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify the breaks and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important 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 positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
