Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
