Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after 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.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate 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 instead of the timber that they have been 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 then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
