Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Eco-friendly
