Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
