Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
