Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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