Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access issues, the white ants will identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
