Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

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

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
