Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for children and pets
• Ecologically smart
