Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting previously. 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.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Baiting System Advantages
