Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting previously. 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.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the position 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 termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
