Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated because of access issues, the termites can identify those gaps and gain access via those areas.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
