Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, 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, termites can discover these gaps and gain entry.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

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