Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access issues, then white ants can detect those breaks and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on 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 manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
