Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places cannot be treated due to access issues, then termites may identify those breaks and attain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction 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 lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

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

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
