Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are often used to get rid of termites in your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
