Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
