Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites may detect the breaks and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
