Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants can detect the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
