Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
