Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases 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 so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
