Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
