Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Ecologically smart
