Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated because of access problems, the termites will identify the gaps and attain access through those areas.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until recently. 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 that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house will make it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
