Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until now. 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.

In this fashion, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
