Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
