Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even though 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 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
