Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the property.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home can make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
