Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places cannot be treated due to access problems, then white ants may identify the breaks and attain access through those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t 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.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, but they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
