Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
