Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by positioning bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Green
