Termite Removal

Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants may identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

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