Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
