Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated due to access issues, the white ants may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating 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 the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
