Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and access the building.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

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