Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The often widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
