Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access problems, then termites may identify those breaks and gain ingress via them.

The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
