Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the home.

The regularly commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, 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 structures they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Environmentally Smart
