Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the house.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
