Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
