Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations can not be treated because of access issues, then white ants may detect those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
