Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify those breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The regularly frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
