Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

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

The often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
