Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house will make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
