Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a structure makes it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
