In Australia, termites are frequently called ‘white ants’. These tiny insects can wreak a significant level of property damage annually. Because of the great capacity for destruction, residents of Phillip Bay Eastern Suburbs are advised to seek reliable termite inspection services.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
