Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
