Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more 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 assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house makes it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
