Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants will identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Systems can 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
