Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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