Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may detect the gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

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

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Can Termites Be?
