Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building can make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
