Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated as a result of access problems, the termites can detect the gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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