Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through 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 creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
