Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access problems, the termites can detect those breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar manner, however they’re usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
