Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you do not 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.

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