Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the home.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
