Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated because of access issues, the white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
