Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
