Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants can detect the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
