Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access via them once again.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even when you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are often 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 intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
