Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

The regularly widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all the family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution
