Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to 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.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
