Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if 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 Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco friendly
