Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the breaks and again access the property.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

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

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
