Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can not be treated because of access problems, the white ants may identify those breaks and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony 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 activity.

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