Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you do not 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 typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits Of A Termite Baiting System
