Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not 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 frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
