Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants may detect those gaps and gain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Environmentally smart
