Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated due to access issues, then white ants may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
