Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
