Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
