Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony can be destroyed 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 termite activity.

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