Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated due to access problems, then termites can detect those breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
