Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations cannot be treated due to access problems, then white ants will identify those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
