Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
