Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest 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 new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
