Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

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 sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
