Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement 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 termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure makes it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
