Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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