Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
