Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated due to access issues, then white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
