Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
