Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding result.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
