Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the breaks and access the house.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been 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 the bait to other colony members.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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