Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the home.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding result.

In this fashion, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
