Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for the kids and pets
