Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants may detect the breaks and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 termites then return to the colony and 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 if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure will make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
