Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can detect those breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Environmentally friendly
