Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants can detect the breaks and attain access via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
