Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
