Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems
