Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
