Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the white ants may detect those gaps and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
