Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or areas can’t be treated due to access issues, the white ants can identify those gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
