Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
