Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated because of access issues, the termites will identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
