Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 layout of a home makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
