Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position 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 termite activity.

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