Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify these gaps and again access the house.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
