Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
