Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants will detect those gaps and attain access through those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
