Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated due to access problems, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even if 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
