Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the property.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
