Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can often pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites in the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
• Environmentally Friendly
