Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and again access the home.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
