Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and access the building.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a compounding effect.

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

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