Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
