Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets

How Problematic Can Termites Be?
