Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and again access the house.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even though you do not 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 are employed in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
