Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated because of access problems, then termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. 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 continue to be in positions where there is 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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
