Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access issues, then white ants can detect those gaps and gain access via them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even if you do not 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 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?
