Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great 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 a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
