Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
