Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
