Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

An entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home can make it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
