Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants may detect those gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating up to now. 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 other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System
