Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites will identify those gaps and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
