Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then termites may identify those gaps and attain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house can make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
