Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The often commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
