Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants may detect the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather conditions
