Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting 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 feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems may 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.
