Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a compounding effect.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
