Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain entry.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing 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 Systems are utilised in a similar way, however they are generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly
