Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over 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 result.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems
