Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
