Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
