Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated because of access problems, the termites may detect the gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This 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 nest members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe to use around kids and pets
