Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Ongoing 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 isn’t known.

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 especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
