Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. 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.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather conditions
