Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically Smart
