Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access problems, the white ants will identify the breaks and gain access through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
