Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated because of access problems, then white ants will detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
