Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting 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 feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Not influenced by weather
