Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in the house, by placing 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 colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
