Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and again access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
