Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go 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 generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
