Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or places cannot be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect those breaks and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating until recently. 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 manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building can make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around kids and pets
