Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating up to 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 other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a swelling can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
