Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
