Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not afflicted with weather
• No danger for children & pets
