Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access issues, the termites may identify the breaks and gain access through those areas.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
