Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
