Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
