Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
