Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
