Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
