Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution
