Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants may identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
