Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been 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 then feed the bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
