Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the breaks and once again access the building.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

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

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
