Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around children and pets
