Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants can do an unexpected amount of destruction. The house may even become unsafe because of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
