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. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
