Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if 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.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages
