Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants can detect those gaps and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your property, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
