Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and again access the property.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
