Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can detect those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not impacted by weather
