Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can not be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants may identify the breaks and attain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
