Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient result.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

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 particularly helpful when the layout of a home can make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
