Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect the breaks and once again access the house.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they will not avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
