Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems can 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
