Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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 and not the structures they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
