Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting 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 other colony members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, 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 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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
