Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the breaks and once again access the building.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often 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 won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until recently. 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 further colony members.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
