Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
