Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated due to access problems, the white ants can detect the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
