Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

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