Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even though you do not 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
