Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest 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 are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
