Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access problems, then white ants can detect those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location 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 continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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