Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if 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, termites can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to eliminate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even when the location 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 new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
