Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites from your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 used in a similar fashion, but they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
