Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

An entire colony may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
