Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting
