Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these gaps and once again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find 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, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
