Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

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 building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
