Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these breaks and again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you do not 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure will make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
