Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
