Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

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

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
