Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even though you do not 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 usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
