Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
