Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some places can not be treated because of access issues, the termites can detect the gaps and attain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
