Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
