Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated because of access problems, the white ants may detect those breaks and attain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

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

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
