Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
