Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Ecologically sound
