Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Safe for kids and pets
