Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites will identify those breaks and attain access through them.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

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 sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
