Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may identify those breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
