Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest 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 fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
