Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas can not be treated due to access issues, then white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
