Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
