Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony 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 observed termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
