Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

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

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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 whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised 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 helpful when the layout of a structure makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
