Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, 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 have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
