Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
