Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
