Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
