Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

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

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
