Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite 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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
