Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated due to access difficulties, then termites will identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills the termites that eat 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.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
