Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or locations can not be treated due to access difficulties, then termites may detect the gaps and gain access through those areas.

The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
