Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
