Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if 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 observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
