Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

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 discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
