Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
