Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
