Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then termites can identify the breaks and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing 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.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly

How To Identify If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

• Wood in the structure has small holes
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed leaving the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a home. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the dwelling could potentially become unlivable.
