Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most commonly used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing 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.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even though you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly
