Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated due to access issues, the white ants can detect the gaps and attain access through those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
