Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and again access the property.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
