Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will identify the breaks and gain access via those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
