Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

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

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
