Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect those breaks and gain access via them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span 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 pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
