Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will 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 manner, but they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
