Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically friendly
