Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access problems, the white ants will detect the gaps and attain access via them.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
