Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated due to access issues, then termites may identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
