Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites can identify the breaks and gain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can not identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
