Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house makes it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
