Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
