Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual insects will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling will make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
