Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places can’t be treated due to access issues, then white ants will detect those breaks and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
