Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
