Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on result.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home can make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
