Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System
