Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
