Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants will identify those gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, 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 colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but 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 especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
