Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
