Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the termites will detect those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. 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 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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
