Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then termites will detect those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
