Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
