Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

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