Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

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

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
