Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants will detect those breaks and attain access via those areas.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even though 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 new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even just one colony of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The dwelling may even become unsafe because of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
