Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other members of 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 nest. 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
