Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
