Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems may 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 catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
