Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
