Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
