Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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