Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your dwelling by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Eco-friendly
