Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
