There are several types of termite situations and hence the preferred treatments also vary.

Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can not be treated because of access problems, the white ants will identify those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even if 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.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
