Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then termites can detect the breaks and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
