Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated due to access problems, the white ants can identify the breaks and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure will make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
