Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing 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 effect.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• No danger to kids or pets
