Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations can not be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants may identify the gaps and attain access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
