Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the building.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

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