Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated due to access problems, the white ants can detect those gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases 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 places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
