Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect 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 covered, termites will identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

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

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t 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.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to children or pets
