Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a building makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
