Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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