Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
