Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the gaps and again access the property.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
