Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and again access the property.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

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