Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

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

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the 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 structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
