Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor locations can not be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you do not 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
