Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
