Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated because of access issues, then white ants will detect those breaks and gain ingress through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
