Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony 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 white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
