Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and once again access the building.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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