Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger to kids & pets

• Wood is damaged or crumbling
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest
