Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor areas can not be treated because of access issues, the termites can identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
