Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
