Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The regularly frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the position 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 white ant 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
