Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the property.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
