Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these breaks and once again access the home.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
