Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored 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 place.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
