Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for use around children and pets
