Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
