Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access issues, then termites can identify the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
