Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
