Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants will identify those gaps and gain ingress via them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

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