Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor areas can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites may identify those breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a house will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
