Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential 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.
