Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential for termite access through non-treated gaps is lower.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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 particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
