Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that 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.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building will make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Eco-friendly
