Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the house.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically Friendly
