Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
