Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
