Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
