Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
